It seems that fan favourite couple Aaron Dingle and Robert Sugden are headed for a rocky patch once-again.

And following the big reveal that Robert has impregnated his former sister in-law, Rebecca, on Monday night's episode, Emmerdale fans couldn't help but voice their anger on social media.

The backlash came as Robert and Aaron were shown trying to get the spark back in their relationship after Aaron was seen struggling to cope with his harrowing experience in prison.

Following a romantic picnic that saw the pair getting amorous in the Yorkshire air, Robert's happiness was spoilt as his sister dropped the bombshell that Rebecca - whom he slept with only weeks before - was pregnant.

As the in-denial village bad boy was told the baby was certainly his, rather than her boyfriend Ross Barton's, Robert looked as though his world was falling down around him; though it was the show's fans who were more hurt.
